Cyprus national football team prepares for Nations League match against Armenia

The Cyprus national football team is set to face Armenia at the GSP Stadium on October 2, 2026, as part of the third round of Group 2 in League C of the UEFA Nations League. This match is critical for the home side, coached by Akis Mantzios, as they aim to secure their first victory following a previous defeat to Montenegro and a draw against Latvia.

The national team concludes its final training session today, following a pre-match press conference held by manager Akis Mantzios at 18:45 yesterday. The squad is under significant pressure to perform, as they must secure three points to remain in contention for promotion or a spot in the playoffs for League B.
